Overwatch World Cup: Day 1

The pairing of Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez and Rachel “Seltzer” Quirico was greeted with strong applause as they addressed the crowd in Overwatch Arena prior to the official start of the BlizzCon game announcements.

Shane “Rawkus” Flaherty and the rest of Team USA had a large majority of the crowd in their corner, but despite the vocal support the local team fell hard to Team UK 3-1.

Frankie “GetFrank” Ward joined the Overwatch World Cup broadcast team to file reports from the arena floor on Team UK.

And speaking of the Brits, they broke out the onstage selfie following their triumphant upset.

Before Team Canada took the stage, Brennon “Bren” Hook attempted to return some left-behind items to former roommate Félix “xQc” Lengyel. In the end, the contents of the entire box—including a keyboard and HDMI cable—were handed out to lucky fans near the Canada cheering section.
